San Francisco 49ers in preseason action.

Oakland head coach Tom Cable was accused of punching defensive assistant Randy Hanson this week. Hanson suffered facial injuries during a coaches meeting two weeks ago where the rumored assault took place. On the field, the Raiders are coming off a 31-10 win over

Dallas last weekend where Charlie Frye threw for 80 yards and a touchdown while JaMarcus Russell threw for 50 yards. Second-year running back, Darren McFadden had a solid game, rushing for 63 yards on four carries.

Despite a 17-16 win over

Denver last week, the 49ers haven’t had much positive news in camp. First round draft pick Michael Crabtree is still a holdout and fellow receiver Brandon Jones will be out for another seven weeks because of a broken bone in his shoulder. Patrick Willis just recently returned back to practice this week for

San Francisco, but may not play Saturday. Quarterback Shaun Hill was a perfect 2-for-2 passing last week for the 49ers, but Damon Huard had the better night, throwing for 98 yards and a touchdown.

Oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com have made the 49ers 3-point favorites in this contest. The over/under total has been set at 36.

Oakland is 0-4 against the spread at

San Francisco and is 1-10 ATS in road games against the NFC West since 1993.

San Francisco is 8-2 with the under versus
Oakland and is 1-1 ATS versus

Oakland over the last three seasons.

Game time is set for 8:15PM ET from

Candlestick
Park with clear skies in the forecast for kickoff.
